Does not detect correct php version | ww.wp.xz.cn

Our site has been using Sucuri for over a year. Recently on the dashboard I see this message:
“SUCURI: The plugin requires PHP 5 >= 5.3.0 – OR – PHP 7”

On Cpanel at our host, the host is running 5.62.
I chatted online with Sucuri at our account there, and was told to uninstall and reinstall the plugin. No change.

We are experiencing regular brute force attacks and I want Sucuri running correctly and I’m concerned about the PHP issue. How can I get the plugin to detect the correct PHP version?

Thank you for your help.

PS. wordpress and all other plugins are updated and backed up.

Lets answer that question taking a look at the code…

The error message is triggered here [1] after getting a negative response from a function defined here [2]. The function checks if four special classes are available in your PHP installation, these classes were introduced with PHP 5.3 so that’s why the message says that, but it doesn’t actually check if the version is equal or above.

It seems that your PHP installation, while being clearly above 5.3, doesn’t have one or more of these classes. This prevents the execution of the file system scanner, one of the main features in the plugin, that’s why it displays the warning.

Talk with your hosting provider and ask about this.

yorman, thanks for the help.

Bluehost tried raising the php version to 7.0 but it broke the theme, however when he changed it back to 5.62 that somehow registered correctly with Sucuri. So no more error message and the app is up to speed now. Thanks for your input, I wasn’t sure where the problem lay.
